Morning,

I tried to integrate DokuWiki with IPB v2.0.4 as described in this document:

http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:tips:integration_with_ipb_2.x

Everything went fine and without problems, until i tried to login at the wiki. The attempt to do so was answered by this:

Sorry, username or password was wrong.

Is there any way to get DokuWiki to be a bit .. more verbose? For all i know it might not even be able to correctly connect to the database. Any thoughts and help regarding this will be highly appreciated.


Security best practices dictate that the user should not get any more information that this. Even telling them they entered a valid user name is an invitation to try to discover the password. The best option for debugging is to put additional information into the server logs when this happens. But that should be an option that only gets turned on for debugging, as doing it every time a login fails can produce some big log files.
